Cy linder the laws of Congress, Act of March 3, 1879. & Every afternoon, Monday through Friday ■AH To The Good profound revolution is taking place in our Ameri can, economy. People in the middle and lower income brackets are succeeding the rich in owning and enlarging , American enterprise through investment in the securities of corporations. r. That highly important development is emphasized in a recent article by G. Keith Funston, the new President the-New York Stock Exchange. vi 'A£'Mr. Funston observed, the wealth of the rich, after taxes, “has shrunk to a spectacular degree.” By contrast, the number of people with ss,o<M>-SIO,OOO incomes after taxes 'has vastly increased. In 1929, there were 680,000 ’Of these individuals with a combined net income of $45Q.0,000,000. In 1946, the last year for which such figures are available, there were 2,300,000 with incomes -■totaling $11,200,000,000. An even greater growth has oc curred in the aggregate net income of people in the under ss,OOP brackets. ,;,*f|pday about 15,000,000 individuals own stock. A large Stock-brokerage firm recently found that one-third of the investors it served had incomes of less than $5,000. The "capitalist” of the present is a far cary from the bloated .phitbcrat who was a pet subject for the cartoonists of ».long-j>ast days. The New York Stock Exchange and other exchanges are now doing much to inform the general public of how market places work, and how the prices of stocks are,;;ite^r mined solely by what individual owners are 'Willing to sell them for or pay for them. The result is that ittoe.jwmership of American enterprise is being spread through more and more hands—which is all to the good. Poor Sample Godfrey M. Lebhar, editor of Chain Store Age, re cently-"visited England. In a report from London, which : various industries, he said, “After seven years ocf social |went - into some detail on the workings of socialism in /JsticTs]s, England offers a poor example indeed of which #giailstic government has labored, few Americans would want .any part of socialism if they could see hpw little it has done for England.

Americans who have gone through English retail stores, which are a pretty good reflection of a country’s economy, report that many wanted items are in extremely short supply, and that shoddy substitutes are sold at high prices. Many fine quality English produets cannot be sold in England at all —thf production goes for export, primarily to the United States. England has faced tremendous post-war problems, | which would have strained the resources and initiative of any kind of government. But, making the fullest pos sible allowance for this, it is clear that socialism has i> been a costly and grim failure. England is an example I \of what America must avoid.

Parents would do well to > examine the psychology textbooks that their children are required to 1 read. The potency of this came to me when I read in Edward Hunter's “prain-Washing In Red China’’ the denunciation of Dr. Hu Shih : by his son. , Hu Shih has played the role in [ modern China that Dante. Boecac ' cio end Petrarch played in Italy of the Renaissance. He bridged the an, .cut to the current. He wrote poetry, not in the classical tongue. , but in the spoken language of the ' people. The first volume of his “History of Chinese Philosophy” i Was a best-seller. He edited a li brary of novels which had become the folklore of his race. He has home to be known as the father of the "Literary Revolution.” Studying at Cornell and Cohim- Mb. he came under the influence of William James and John Dewey and brought bock with him to China the American concept of pragmatism. No matter what one’s view may be of pragmatism, Dr. Hu, instead of devoting himself solely to scholarship, became the man of action, making a profound impression on his time. He has served as Chinese ambassador to the United States and is now libra rian of the Gest Library at Prince ton. This is his background in sum mary. The son is now in Peking, under the Communists. .What "his true sentiments- teSfAfd yds itodhkrj are now, I do not know, I do not believe the father knows. In open ing his denunciation of his father, the son wi-ote: “In the old society, I considered my father as an ‘aloof’ and ‘clean’ good man. Even after the libera tion I felt deeply insulted when ever my father was being critl ciked. . . However, the Communist Revo lution changed his mind about his father: “After 1919 he drifted farther dgwn the wrong way. He praised ibsenism and battled materialism With experimentalism. He himself was wandering among the rulers of those days, hoping his ‘evolu tionism’ would be adopted by them. At the ebb of revolution he hoped to establish a good school. He thought through education a soci ety might become good. He organ ised the China public school. But under the threat of the Nanking government his dregm was shat tared and he was forced to leave the public school. The weak capi talist intellectuals never dared re sist the ‘government.’ He, like all other members of his class, bowed his head to the reactionary gov ernment, and turned to Chiang Kai-shek to practice his doctrine of reforms.” The entire document cannot be given here because it is too long. Yet, the following is so tragic, par ticularly when one knows the fa ther, with whom I went to school as far back as 1915 and whom I have known intimately since then: “Today, after my education in {he party.

Mo., President Truman hrt drop the most definite hint, so i far as to whether he will run for , a third term. - “Grover Cleveland's greatest mis i take,” he said, “was to run again. He would have been a great Presi dent but for that.” Meanwhile close friends have found the President so tired: so worried and so upset over those in his administration who “have let him down." that they haven’t had tHe heart to tell him how low his stock has dropped throughout the country. Those gathered with him at a family party in Independence, however, found the President re laMed fOr the first time in weeks. He joked, gossiped and enjoyed himself though tensing when somebody mentioned the press. Mrs. Truman, who was looking better than ever, dropped a neck lace. It had become unfastened from around her neck. “When I don’t put her together, she comes apart.” remarked her husband; stopping to pick it up. “I envied you those turtle steaks in Florida." suggested a friend. “Yoa can have all the turtles, CharkA and snake meat,” the Presi -■Acnt shot back. "Just give me an Y»ld*fashioned Kansas City steak.” When someone asked him about Life's article on his loud shirts and Florida wardrobe, Truman re plied that the magazine was trying to belittle him. “A few years ago they called me the best-dressed man in the United States,” he said. “What do you think of the Kan sas City Star?”, someone asked. “Don’t answer that one,” Mrs. Truman cautioned quickly, doubt less remembering what her hus band had said on previous occasions rega ding his old friend, Roy Rob erts. the Star’s publisher. Margaret looked especially well at the party. She has lost about ton pounds and benefited from the Parisian gowns picked for her by Svelte ftelle Bonnet, wife of the French ambassador. UNDER THE DOME Senator Bstes Kefauver. who will soon officially throw his hat in the ring for President, turned thumbs down on a novel campaign button. It had the coonskin cap that has become his campaign symbol and the words. “Coonskin, not mink.” . . . Governor Tom Dewey is sending ex-New Deal col umnist Jay Franklin to Washing ton to watch-dog the Eisenhower for-President headquarters. Dewey is unhappy over certain statements of Senators Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., and Jim Duff, and thinks Franklin should quietly take over public relations.

Offi cially, Franklin will be on the staff of Senator Irving Ives of New York. HUNGARIAN HIGHHANDEDNESS Though it was no time for milk toast diplomacy, our Charge D’Af faires almost apologized to the for the heat which the American public was putting on the State Department over the in cident of the four imprisoned fliers. The State Department has dis creetly kept this part of its nego tiations secret. However, this col umn is able to report the first meek moves by our embassy in Bu dapest to free the four airmen. Our protest was entrusted to George Abbott, American Charge D’Affaires, who hiked over to the Hungarian Foreign Office to de liver it. What he got was the dip lomatic run around. He couldn’t even find anyone to protest to. Re sult was that he ended up far down the Hungarian diplomatic ladder talking to Endre Sik. an adviser on political affairs. The Hungarian seemed amused at Abbott's frantic efforts to de liver his protest. "Have you no patience?" Sik shrugged. j “Yes, I have patience, but Oie American people and the press are aroused over this case,” replied Abbott. Then he pointed out that Sik had once served in Washington and ought to know the effect of public opinion on U. S. policy. “I should have no need to lec ture you on the effect Qf an aroused American press and public on the policy-making machinery,” Abbott explained. The public knows the rest of tire story—how the Communist govern ment held the four American air men for $120,000 blackmail. Since then, the Communists are whisper ing around Europe that the United States cant even protect its own citizens, let alone European na tionals. Note—Meanwhile, Hungary con tinues to keep as its minister in Washington, Dr. Emil Weil, the physician who directed the drug ging of Cardinal Mindszenty at one of the most famous trials iR Com munist history. Letters are now pouring in to Washington urging that Dr. Weil be recalled. MORE TAXES Political advisers are trying to talk him out of it, but the Presi dent has made up his mind to ask Congress for more taxes in 1952. . . . Pressure to increase has come from two chief sources: 1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, who want more ships, tanks and planes; 2, The Council of Economic Advisers, who want higher taxes to curb (Continued On Page Five) Walter Wlnchell In New W \X / WAlt« York wwchbi BROADWAY DIGEST The Shows: The critics cele brated a joyous reunion at the Broadhurst with “Pal Joey,” the 1940 click. This Rodgers-Hart mu sical of J. O’Hara’s portrait of a heel, retains its melodic daxde and wixardry wit.

If. you get 7 right, you are very supe rior. CASE C-341: E. D. Hulse, Jr., aged 30, is a talented clergyman who combines Applied Psychology with f theology. "Dr. Crane, I recently made a survey of parishioners regarding preferred sermon topics,” he in formed me recently. “With the aid of a number of my clerical colleagues, we asked, churchgoers in several states to , show what they liked and disliked. "Here are the results, which I think reveal some very interesting psychological faets." ’ WHICH DO YOU PREFER? From Rev. Hulse’s extensive find ings, I am citing a few pairs of those sermon titles. . In each pair, one sermon title was far more popular than the other. Let’s see if you readers can select the winner in each pair. (AI) The Evils of Gambling. (A2) How to Win Friends. <B1) More About the Bible. (B 2) Jesus and the State. (Cl) Current Political Issues. (C 2) Being Christian in Daily Living. (Dl) How Should A Christian Spend Sunday?

I feel kindly towards her, for which I am criticized by 'some of my friends, who dropped her like a hot potato, when scandal flared. Previously they had feted' her as “a person worth knowing.” Others respect her courage and sincerity, in facing up to a mistake. Ruth is a career woman, foreign born, married to a man of similar status, but of inferior education— who is now divorcing her. She is an artist, a pianist, a poet; in brief, a person of enviable talents; and she earns her livlihood. She always has given freely of time and money to civic causes, working with clubs and organizations. Re cently she became involved with Mr. 8., a socially prominent mar ried man, through working with him. I had felt for two or three years that she was in turmoil. Then gos sip started through Mrs. 8., cele brated for her vicious tongue. And when it developed that Ruth ex pects a child, divorce suits were filed on both side*—by Mrs. R, and by Ruth** husband. Persons close to Mrs. B. have said “It serves her right: her evil think ing finally backfired.” Some of Ruth's acquaintances were, more loyal; they felt she had done wrong; but they were sorry for her , predicament, knowing her gener ous candid nature. Unable to face the music, Mr. B. reconciled with his wife after five months’ separation and they’ve moved out of town. Ruth is stand ing pat. She has bought and set tled in a small suburban home, finish work commitments while awaiting Iter child. But there can be no doubt that she to hurt, un happy and taking punishment.

We would CONSUMER SURVEYS Rev Hulse deserves commenda tion for thus adapting the modern “consumer survey” to church con gregations. That is comparable to a physi cian’s feeling the patient’s pulse. And the results of this church po(j, which will be given below, indicate that people are more vitally con cerned with: (1) The present moment .instead of the past. (2) Themselves and their fami lies vs. the state or politics. >. (3) Practical personal religion; vs. theological abstractions. .. This poll reaffirms the peychol ’ ogical rule previously stated herein which says: "The center of human interest lies within one’s epidermii. Every second in time that we leave the present, and every inch in space that we leave that epidermis, our interest wanes.” PRACTICAL PARSONS Please remember, of course, that even the losing sermon title In each pair, had some supporters. Thus, maybe 25would ask for a ser mon on "Current Political Issues", « but 80% to 90% would prefer “Be ing Christian in Daily Living." Other things being equal, there fore, a clergyman will get a better reaction from his congregation by helping them with the problems which they are most concerned with. Here are the winning sermon titles: (A2), (Bl), (C 2), (Dl), <E2>, (FI), IGl), (H 2), (J 2), (Kl). You can try this test on the members of your church Women's Society or your Sunday school class. It may help you young people, too, in selecting discussion topics . of major interest to your group.

For this reason, you are all dip ping vicariously Into her exper ience of sin—under guise of con demnation or charitable evaluation —Just as you previously drew in spiration from her warmhearted lively interest in a variety of civic, artistic and cultural enterprises. , And to justify this borrowing, tlie more hypocritical and pretentious called her (in other days) “a per son worth knowing.” > The purpose of your letter, or the gist of your inquiry, isn't clear. Possibly you are just rehashing your current favorite topic, name ly, Ruth's sensational plight. Or maybe you want a pat on the back for not entirely rejecting her—l. e., for bringing a friendly tone to the storm of gossip about her. But if you are asking which camp of dis putants is justified the self righteous scorners, or those who still regard her as a lovable mem ber of the human race-—I should think the answer is obvious, from the Christian angle. In Matthew 9: 11. 13 we find the story of Jesus sharing a meal with publicans and sinners. “And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples. Why eatath' your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them—They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick—There is no record that Our Lord cqld shoul dered sinners as such, hut he had short patience with smug moralists —of whom Pharisees were the prime example in Gospel narrative. AN OPPOSTUNITY TO BE .CHRISTIANS And after Jesus we have Pauli illumined with the knowledge that God is Love, and telling the world (Corinthians 13T: 'Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not chahty, I am become as sounding brass; or a tinkling cymbal .
